What to see in Medellin in 1 day? The historic center

Today, I want to visit the historic center of Medellin. But can we say downtown or historic center of Medellin? “Historic” is perhaps a big and wrong word to define the city center of Medellin. Indeed, Medellin is a relatively young city. There is no colonial vestige, no typical architecture, in short no identity in its streets and squares. Indeed, if you are shown a street or a square in Medellin, nothing differentiates it from another modern city. Except … the beautiful statues of BOTERO!

Medellin in 1 day – What to see in the center of Medellin?

Walking in the city center is very pleasant because we feel the dynamism, the fervor, a certain party atmosphere … besides, Ludovic will bring us a drink in the famous Salon Malaga (temple of Jazz music, tango. ..). It is a mythical place of Medellin with a soul and a memory (records, jukeboxes, photos).

Here are the main places I recommend to visit in the center
of Medellin:

Botero Square and its 23 statues;

Bolivar Square and its monument to the glory of the liberation of the nation;

The Antioquia Museum with a large number of works by Botero (contemporary artist born in Medellin);

The Botanical Garden;

Know that you have also the opportunity to take the Turibus to discover at your own pace all the most interesting places in the city: http://www.turibuscolombia.com/

Medellin in 1 day – My impressions about Medellin

Medellin city has been a very nice surprise! Indeed, I did not expect to discover such interesting places and culture as marked and inked in the city. The violent past, the revival, the music, the dancers, the graffitis, the street vendors make Medellín a town with a strong character that I adored!
